Malcolm Campbell: A Speed Demon of the 20th Century Step into the world of speed and adrenaline with Malcolm Campbell, a legendary figure who left an indelible mark on the racing scene. Known for his iconic Bluebird vehicles, he was a true pioneer in pushing the limits of automotive engineering. In 1935, at the helm of his trusty Bluebird, Malcolm Campbell set a new land speed record that would go down in history. With sheer determination and unwavering courage, he defied boundaries and reached unimaginable speeds that left spectators in awe. One particular moment captured by artist Gordon Crosby showcases Whitney Straight maneuvering a Maserati at Brooklands' Members Bridge turn in 1933. This image perfectly encapsulates the thrill and excitement that surrounded these races during the 1930s. The pits before the start of Le Mans 24-hour Race in 1937 were always bustling with activity. Amongst this organized chaos stood Malcolm Campbell, meticulously preparing himself and his vehicle for yet another daring adventure on the track. Looking back to earlier years, we catch glimpses of young Malcolm behind the wheel of various impressive machines. The Sunbeam 350hp at Saltburn Speed Trials in 1924 showcased his early talent as he fearlessly pushed boundaries even then. But it wasn't just about breaking records; it was also about embracing innovation. In 1922, we see him conquering Saltburn Sands with an Austro Daimler Sascha - a testament to his thirst for exploration and experimentation. Throughout his career, Malcolm's passion never waned. From roaring through Daytona Beach in Bluebird during its heyday to teaming up with Godfrey Waters for thrilling adventures like driving their beloved Blue Bird Darracq together - every moment was etched into history. Even after hanging up his racing gloves, Malcolm's legacy lived on through generations like Don Wales who continued to honor the Bluebird tradition.
